Happy New Year 2013 & Happy Surprises!

A splendid and joyous Happy New Year to everyone! 2012's history chapter just got closed and the sun has now taken a new spin to open the new year's chapter. On behalf of entire STCNetwork(i.e. Raheem, Qasim, Nida, Bhavesh, Shams and Me!) I wish that this blessed new occasion may fill up your life with Happiness, bright Cheer and bring to you joy and Prosperity for the rest of the shiny blue days that follow. God bless you all throughout the new year buddies and may your incomplete dreams (if any) and goals in life get completed successfully this year and you may return home with a smile each single day. May you make abundance of sweet and loyal friends this year. The new future surely awaits you!

Your Gift this year?

To keep the healthy tradition alive, we would love to gift all our loyal and million dollar worth readers a memorable gift. It took me around one week to craft, slice and then finally hard code a carefully structured Blogger template for the blogging community. The name chosen this time is "Salahuddin Ayubi" Its far better optimized then Monop or Tanzanite and carefully coded by keeping in mind both Search robots, social media networks, and the priceless visitors.

Salahuddin Ayubi is a legend in both western and eastern cultures and this man is known to all for his beautifully led empire. Since I am highly inspired with him, therefore I coded a template on his name as a tribute! :D

Click the image below for DEMO!

Features:

The reason why this template is different from any template available online is due to the features stated below:

SEO

Nothing counts more for me than SEO. Design comes second!

Dynamic meta description tags for Post editor already installed

Data Variables for Titles and Post Pages already swapped

The clean HTML structure would make it fairly easy for search robots to crawl and index the pages easily without useless scripts block access.

Load Time has been kept in mind as per Google Webmasters latest Page speed requirements

A floating sharing widget has been added to post section to easily report social vote counts to Google

In short this template is a repository of all SEO features that a blogspot blog can contain!

Social Media Optimization

Schema Tags for Facebook and Google+ has been already installed to avoid thumbnail and description snippet errors

Sharing counters would easily pick the right Image and post description

Around 360+ social media sharing options are added both at the bottom and slide panel of the post section.

Subscription widget is designed by keeping reader's psyche in mind, providing major focus to Email subscription only. Includes multi subscribing options for RSS, twitter and Facebook.

User Interface

The template is designed in order to force visitors to stay longer and make more Page views.

How better experience could a template offer if it's design is perfectly compatible with all major browsers including the horrible IE!

The Scripts and Style sheets work just perfect in IE, Firefox and Chrome. Slight conditional tags will still be introduced tomorrow for IE, just ran out of time tonight.

The layout colors are chosen by keeping standard Hexadecimal and web friendly fonts. This is often acceptable by a wide variety of readers especially visitors with sight vision problems and those who are aged. No dark or eye burning colors!

The header, content wrapper, post section, sidebar section and footer, all comes with handy widgets to make the site navigation more like a fun.

A friendly search box is added next to menu to provide easy site search.

A beautiful footer at the bottom with author info would tell the visitor he is not reading a dead blog but one that is ran by a real man! Author bio would also appear below each post.

We can keep on describing more but let leave rest for you to decide.

Widgets & Plugins

Why don't you check and count them yourselves? :)

Download

Our hostgator account is undergoing some maintenance and as soon as it is in normal working condition, I would inform you all through the notification bar and the download link would be added to both our download page and here.

Customization

A separate detailed tutorial will be shared soon in order to help you all more comprehensively wit the technical details and template installation.

Copyrights

I started blogging using free gadgets and using a free platform like blogger which changed the way I live today. Free goodies and resources are no less than a great favor from one person to another. Here at MBT we aim at motivating new and young teenagers to start their online careers and enrich the community with their creative skills. Some remain thankful to us by crediting us for the resources we offer and some forget us. Those who respect copyrights are certain to survive online and be respected by everyone around.

We are tired fighting new comers when they re-share our resources (icons, buttons, tutorials, templates etc.) without permission and attaching credits. For those who really respect and are humble, this template is a gift from us to you. We expect that our watermark on the Blogger notification bar and link at footer may remain intact.

Upgrade To Premium Version

Our Free resources come with copyrights restrictions but we have a large collection of premium resources that are shared with clients alone. If you wish to order a similar template, then please contact us via the services page or if you wish to use the same template by removing the watermark logo and credit link at footer, then you may kindly contact us via the contact page only. Invoice details will be shared via email only.

The Second Surprise?

Apart from this free Template surprise, the second surprise which even amazed us all today was when we observed that this little blog just hit an Alexa Rank of 5K Alhamdulillah, which according to un-official blogger stats, is the only Blogger blog ran by non Google employees with highest Alexa Rank. I am not sure how many blogspot blogs exist in Google's directory (near 300 Million or more), but I have personally not came across any family friendly blog with such rank apart from some adult blogs which are not even worth discussing.

All praise goes to you buddies for your continuous love and support. If there is anything I did, was providing you with content rest all these sweet little gifts came from you. You made a stupid guy so happy today. Thank you a millions! :)

PS: We hit 6K 4 months back and then lost it for following 3 months. We hit 5K today so the Alexa Rank can surely go worse again! but lets celebrate this day at least! ;p

New Year Resolutions If any?

Last year my resolution was to control my anger which I badly failed! Now before I ask what are your great commitments for this year, lets share my little one first!

I will try again to control my anger this time, by hook or by crook! :D

Do tell me buddies, whether you succeeded with your last year's commitments or not and what promises do you make for coming future. Feel like a family here, no reservations please! I wish the best of life for you all. May you succeed far more than you dreamt of, may you achieve far bigger milestones than us or anyone you may know. Tomorrow awaits you dear brothers and sisters so go hug it as warmly as you can! Peace and blessings pals! :)

About new year oaths, basically in personal life i want to study hard and wish i can have a good score in my high school. In blogging , i want to concentrate on blogging and tech news and around 2000 word quality content. :)

@A2 studiosThanks for the kind wish buddy. May you succeed far more. :)

@NiyasThank you pal for the generous wish. I just need to mention something:As I said as long as you respect copyrights, you will be respected. The moment I visited your blog I found cloned MBT widgets with no attribution.This is the Flapper and Flipper widget I designed 4 years back! you unfortunately re-shared it without paying credits dear.

Mustafa bro...i really need your help today..from many days i m trying to add threaded comment system in my blog..(www.trickshunt.com) but i m not able to add it properly..the delete option is working but reply option is not working..m in huge Trouble, and today i think to install disqus comment system in my blog so,plese tell me is this good to add it on blogger platform,or it may leads to any seo failure of my blog...I know these question is out of this topic(post) but i really need your help today..please bro help me..wait for your reply.

Ohh hoo.. Look what's happening here.. Surprises popping out.. A dozen of comments, lots of wishes though less resolutions and yea a bit of heat as well and I love it :D

Very very happy new year to all of you buddies out there and entire STC network (though I am missing them). I wish they come here today :)

A huge thanks to Mohammad for officially including my name in STC network. The biggest surprise on new year for me :) Thanks very much.

Lets talk a bit about the 1st surprise, the template.The first impression was that the template is neat, clean and not heavy at all.

Something though is messed up. The content and sidebar is not adjusted properly and I feel the adjustment was due to the navigation menu image. If it is intentional, then I wish it is changed as it looks messed.

Sidebar Heading: I wonder why you used borders instead of box-shadow for that effect. If compatibility is the issue (IE Culprit), then smart work around ;)

I couldn't find any other visual issues.

SEO: I always ask you first when it comes to SEO, so how can I dare to doubt on the SEO features :p

Social Media: Limited packed with Lots, well and good.

Copyrights: Pretty nice and sweet request :)

Now the second surprise Alexa:If you remember I told you something about in a mail. I still dream of that success and I still believe MBT can do what I am thinking. Alexa may go down again but we need to give doing our work and success will come automatically as usual.

Resolutions:I don't think you failed last year. I didn't see much of the anger here on MBT though I don't if you failed somewhere else.

I didn't made any resolution last time. My resolution this year is to change my lifestyle and my lifetime resolution is to help the newbies in every possible way I can.

For those who are wondering where is the download link:The download will be available on the downloads page once the maintenance is over. It will also be notified on the notification bar once it is available.

I guess I didn't left anything.Once Happy New Year to all and missing STC guys. Please come here today :)

Btw most of the people in India didn't celebrate new year this year and some celebrations that happened were pretty small. It was due to the recent Delhi Gang-Rape case and 23 girl died after battling.

Happy New Year to all my Pakistani blogger friends whom I never met even one of them. I interact with all of them through just commenting like I do with global bloggers. But the passion, sincerity and patriotism of Pakistani bloggers is flabbergasting for my and their professionalism is not lesser than the global bloggers. For me 2012 remained a great year where I started blogging, am learning it and found great online friends like Muhammad, Faizan, Wali Khan who always have been so kind to me and guided me at every step of my newly-begun blogging journey. Peace and blessings on you all guys.

Hello Readers,I wish you all a very happy and healthy new year :) Best of luck for everything you do in 2013!!!And Mustafa, Brother, Awesome post. This Template resembles to that of SEM, so I am loving it in my own ways <3 :)Wishes,

@behzadOh that was cute. Thank you dude. For the new blog, sure you may hurry! :)

@bhavesh

No need for the thanks. It shouldn't be any surprise captain :)

Well your new year resolution is really kind and I am sure you will easily fulfill that because you do love helping people always.

About my anger, I succeeded online last year but not in real world. :p

About the template, just worked on your feedback and you may check the new design changes now. Post body now comes under a light bordered outline and the navigation links at bottom come under a container. Much better then before and thank you for bringing this into notice. Happy now? :)

About Alexa, oh sure I remember that and I hope to live up to that dude. :)

About the team, they all are here now. Qasim is free too now and he will start posting from tonight.

I heard about that poor girl and respect the nation's stand on it. We still have some animals around who dress like humans.

@sagarBuddy the template can be customized easily to any color and shape once you get the download copy. So you may surely change it to anything that suits you. Thanks a bunch for liking it dear :)

@NiyasNo problem dear. You won respect in my eyes more now. I guess you deleted the post, though it was not necessary. I just want to see you all going ahead the best you can. I am always there for any help needed pal. :)

@prashanthI am really happy for Dirt Farmer's great improvement prashanth. I just hope you liked MBT's SEO package and things are working for you. I still need to redesign your template and let me know if you want this new bar to be installed or the threaded commenting system. Keep your emails coming buddy :)

About your new year resolution, I am certainly sure you will make it. Your traffic is well enough to score less than 2K. All the best prashanth. :)

Note:For those of you who wish to see one of MBT's premium templates do visit prashanth's site

@Mehul

Sidebar titled? More customizations needed? Sure you may change it as per your flavor dear once the copy is shared. Keep the advises coming, we love it. :)

@HaiderWell I expected a better wish from you and you didn't even share your new year wish? :)

@Mi Muba

Its because you are kind and devoted your self buddy and I am glad MBT has such a loyal reader. Really appreciate all your valuable comments and suggestions. Your input is no less than a great contribution. Always welcomed here as a family member :)

@DaniaOh thank you sis! Glad you liked it. Means a lot and happy new year to you! :)

@NihalThat is true buddy, but I just find excuses to recharge myself with a new zeal and energy.

We do celebrate every great occasion especially the Eids and Ramadan at mbt! :)

@akshatAnother 13 year old fellow! Really glad to see you all so keen to learning. Wish you all the best dear. :)

@SyedThank you buddy. Glad you liked it and where is your new year wish?? :)

@Robinwould be no less than our pleasure pal :)

@waliHappy new year to you too wali bro and your kind family. I am sure 2013 would be far more adventurous to you too. All the best with your endeavors. Thank you a lot for the kind wishes :)

@SaiOh I loved it! Thank you. We live to deliver because you keep on encouraging us else it wont take long for us to shed away. Thank you sai for your kind words. :)

@fahudThe link will be shared with 48 hours. you will be notified through notification bar :>

@NidaOh thank you for the sincere wishes Nida and as long as you keep contributing, STC will surely live to sustain. Thank you for always being there. I am so glad your liked the template. Yes surely it resembles SEM also :)

Well! Just Started a New Venture and Praying for its Success Hope fully with your blessings it will ROX:). And BTW: I Agree with Bhavesh That post-body is overlapping the Sidebar. But I didn't poke my nose in this matter because everyone starts point fingers towards me as if i am Spamming here :). LOL

@MohammadLooks like you already changed it or my night vision glasses are not working :p Actually the difference was not visible in first sight, so needed to check again and again if the change was made or not.

It looked messy because suppose there is an image in a sidebar with white background (in this case subscriber sitting on the bench), the white thingy was mixing up and that what was making it look messy.

@SyedNo one is going to point fingers on you if you are right. But if you are wrong, obviously someone will come and pop up his head in the middle.

Everyone is Right in his own point of view. But you cannot change others Thinking. Negativity is not in the human, its other who make it negative. That What a Blog Means :). Collaborative Community :D.... Have a Nice day

@SyedEveryone is right? Are you serious? Give me a brrreak. I can give you tons and tons of examples having their own point of view which you have to agree that they are WRONGGG…

Just one sample on your "Everyone is Right in his own point of view." Suppose everyone in sitting to discuss some changes in the law. Someone pop up and say murder is not a crime. Killing should be fun. Oh myyyy... that person is correct in his own point of view... What the.... Now you tell me your line was correct or not.

"Negativity is not in the human, its other who make it negative."Go take some classes of Neuropsychology and learn how the brain works. Learn about Inner Negativity and Outer Negativity. What you are talking about is just Outer Negativity. And now don't tell me to take classes because I already know Mind Reading and I know how brain works.

"Collaborative Community"Guess what... There is no community for blogging now because of some ‘Bunch of Morons’ come in, steals the content, surpass the one from where they stole and then just forgets the one because of whom they are standing here.

I am not just taking about MBT or Mohammad. I am taking about everyone (Prayag Verma, Lisa Irby, Carrie Cousins, Manoela Ilic and all) who gives so much to the Blogging community but just doesn't get the respect in the real sense. And guess what, some of such Morons even get awards for their damn hard work of stealing. Great work guys...

'Bunch of Morons' is my next project name (if I get approval) and nothing directly relating to you.

@Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzaihai,brother when i am pointing my domain to blogger i am getting the below erroe please i beg u mohammad brother pls help meWe have not been able to verify your authority to this domain. Error 12.On your domain registrar's website, locate your Domain Name System (DNS) settings and enter the following two CNAMEs:Name, Label or Host field Destination, Target or Points To fieldwww ghs.google.combxyojdoqxr4h gv-effk23ta2g4bh5dbojuucnxxxpj6jz5ypqwfmh2cbbwvxfcsksvq.domainverify.googlehosted.com.See our detailed instructions on providing CNAMEs for various registrars or see the full settings instructions for more details. If you are having trouble entering the second CNAME to domainverify.googlehosted.com, you can verify your ownership of this domain with a TXT record through the Google webmaster tools here instead.

I am here and commenting after a long time though I visit your blog on daily basis and find precious information related to blogger blog, SEO and widgets..

I have a question in my mind about SEO certification.As I can see you have amazing ability to deal with SEO, being a certified SEO consultant you have great knowledge about SEO. My point here is to find out the proper place for SEO certification.Could you please update us whether from you got your SEO certification? Is it online or Offline and which one you would recommend?

For 2013, my all best wishes are with you :).I hope this year would be a happy one for all of us.

I Still Stand by my Statement that "everyone is right in their own perspective" I Say "Perspective" you can't drag them to accept a thing which they are not ready to accept. You can compare a Blog with a "Killing Example" That example doesn't fits in Here. Even a "Killer" Won't accept that he has Killed that guy.

Community of Blogs? There is no community? Well, I think you have isolated yourself to few blogs. I Guess their are much bigger and better sites that has a Quite big and Great Fan following (Including MBT, wpbeginner.com, blogengage.com and there are countless sites that have a Community.

I Guess The Definition of a Blog Would never complete if there is no Community. The Reason, we are here and sharing our opinions, Arguing with each other is because of the Platform MBT has Provided here.

I Don't know who Morons You are Talking about but Who Cares about them. I Guess we should be straightforward, and If any so Called Moron (According to You) Steals your Content then, We have DMCA mate (FREE for Blogger Users) What Else you need Man.

(The Discuession Would Keep on Going. Therefore, Last Reply in Here :). Exams are on my Head, So Sorry Can't Argue any more..

Apologies for keeping you all so awaited. All design changes are now complete and the template can be downloaded easily through our Download Page

Customizations will be released shortly. :)

@Syed Faizan AliOh I wonder what it is young bro? :) wish you all the best buddy with it. May you all succeed as much as possible in the most smooth way possible.About that background image I guess yeh your people forced me to change it finally. :d

@bhaveshYes you are right. I guess I need to adjust the color settings of my LCD. Probably the colors on my screen are a little too bright. ;)

@muneeb

This is question is really off-topic buddy. Kindly avoid it.

@SagarReplied via FB too. :)

@Shiakh

Off-topic but still I would reply buddy. The problem is very easy if you carefully follow this tutorial:Blogger DNS settings

Just set your A Records and CNAME data. For further help, I am here :)

@gruIf there is anyone who offers you a SEO certificate, just know he next jack out there. During the start of my career I wasted a lot of money learning the basics from some local institutes but trust me that classes were all a waste of time and money. If there is anything I learnt practically was implementing it my self through this blog and several others. I am working online as SEO since 2008 and the credits goes to Google search itself. If you really want to learn how I learnt all these just follow our SEO articles or read this post: The three Golden Secrets

I use the word certified because I have received both online and offline certificates but to be honest, they all are a waste of money. Just learn them naturally through trial and error. There is not a single SEO topic I left uncovered on this blog. So carefully go through all our SEO topics. For more help, just post me a query! :)

Responsive templates can easily be created with some extra set of styles but I strictly not recommend it. A layout must remain in its actual shape with all elements on their fixed positions else this could cause problems sponsors and your Adsense revenue.

@muneebThere are two sets of data:post.body. Always add it to the first occurrence. Ignore the second one. Share your blog url

@sai Ram

Oh those are not problems buddy. Just wait for my customization tutorial :)

For the date thing make sure you have enabled it from Layout section through the Posts widget. For banner, it must be 468 by 60 in size only
